Ebay Headlights? Aneyone Have Them?
 
My 2000 GT needs some new headlights. I saw some on American Muscle for around $200.00 or I can get some off ebay for around $100.00.

I was wondering if anyone has the ebay headlights. I just want to make sure fitment and overall quality is decent. The car is 10 years old with almost 100k on it so I dont care about having top notch stuff.

Go with American muscle, there won't be anyone to talk to when the ebay headlighs burn out, "what size light bulb is this"

I have the black dual angel Eyes, the LEDs are beautiful.

Bought the AM headlights as soon as i got my 2000 GT 6 years ago they faded around 4 years in the car, then i got the ebay ones, the fitment was good enough, I would get them from ebay again if i had too, they are good quality (similar or the same as AM) and also they have more choices and againg 100 bucks saved for something else is always good

Just make sure you seal the headlights with silicone were the lense meets the housing and you will be fine with ebay lights. Don't worry about the bulbs if you get the stock or tinted headlights (non-halo) you'll be fine, and by the way, why are halo headlights not considered rice on a Mustang? I see lots of stangs with boy ricer halos get props. Strictly black housing stock or tinted for me!

eBay doesn't sell headlights, they just provide a venue for various vendors to do so.

I bough a set advertised on eBay from an outfit called Blue Oval Industries over 3 years ago , they fit and have held up fine. However the fellow that answered the phone, when I called to let them know the packaging sucked and had broken open in shipping (the housings were OK), was a real dick--I would not have wanted to call with a problem.

I was kinda in the same boat. I try to stay with products provided by AM. I had wanted to get rid of the headlight covers, so I decided to buy some smoked head lights. When dealing with Ebay it's very important to look at their sales rating and even read some of their feedback. If they are not at least 97% and continiously get negative feedback, I don't buy from them. Anyways one company was selling the headlights that I wanted. When I compared them to the AM headlights they were preety much identical. I bought them and havent had any problems. Also I saved about a hundred and ten bucks...

Don't do it! Ive gone through a pair, the sealing was horrible! I siliconed it but it was still ****ty! You get what you pay for!

Just in case I start to have issues, how did you seal yours?
